Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 0.015 acres of
wetlands, as well as permanently impact 10 linear feet and temporarily impact 10 linear feet of Troublesome Creek for the
purpose of upgrading SR 2345 (Yank Road) in Rockingham County. The project should be constructed.in accordance
with your application dated 11 June 2001. After reviewing your application, we have decided; that tlus,project.is covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This certification corresponds to Nationwide.. Permit 141ssued by
the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits ,before you ,proceed; with
your project including (but npt limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and;Water;$upply.,Watershed _
regulations. This approval w' expire with the accompanying §404 permit, unless otherwise .-?spectfied mitbe Water
Quality Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed iri;the'attached gextifcation:: -
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless; modified::below)._a Should
your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions.
If the proposed fill is in excess of 150 linear feet of stream length or 1 acre of wetlands, compensatory mitigation will
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Nonpoint Source and Stormwater Pollution requirements for WS-III Waters as specified in 15A NCAC 213 .0215.
2. Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 413 .0024) must be implemented
prior to any ground-disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic resources. Temporary or
permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of ground-disturbing activities to
provide long term erosion control
3. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is not altered
(i.e. the depth of the channel should not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions are
to be maintained above and below locations of culvert extensions.
4. All work shall be performed during low flow conditions.
5. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
.6. The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances should rock, sand or other
materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate
vicinity of the culverts.
7. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm water sheet flow.

NCDOT Coordinator
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
SUBJECT: Rockingham County, Upgrade of Yank Road (SR 2345) from an unpaved secondary
road to a paved secondary road.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade Yank Road (SR
2354) from an unpaved to a_paved secondary road. This activity will result in the replacement of one
(1) line of 28-feet-long 30-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe with one (1) line of 42-inch Corrugated
Metal Pipe 40-feet long; and the placement of fill in 0.015 acres of palustrine emergent marsh that
has been partly filled due to placement of a powerline pole. See the attached data sheets for further
information on the wetlands being impacted. Pipe replacement and the placement of fill are
necessary to bring the road up to current construction standards and increase traffic safety. No
Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project area. Records from the NCDOT Historic
Architect indicate compliance. with the National Historic Preservation Act.
The NCDOT anticipates that this activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 14. Enclosed
please find.the project site map and the pre-construction notification form for the above referenced
projects. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a General Water Quality Certification #3289
from the NC Division of Water Quality. Construction is anticipated to began in July and take one
week to complete near the wetland area.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact John Hunsinger at (336)

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strinaide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should. provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear: feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction.. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Natural flow will be restored by replacing the undersized 30" Reinforced concrete pine with --
a properly sized 42" Corrugated metal pipe. A finding of insignificant impact is anticipated
since the impact are less than 0.10 acres the impacts are not occurring in High Quality or
Outstanding Resource Waters;- and the wetland being impacted is an irregularly- mowed and
partially filled marsh.
Page 8 of 11
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at bgp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. If
